Description - The 8mm (5/16” thick) custom cut Strong Rubber rolls are a great, all around product for both consumer and commercial clients. The thickness is our most popular, ‘do it all’ product. The rubber roll flooring option has been designed for customers looking for a product thicker than our 1/4” thick residential rubber rolls yet thinner than the 3/8” commercial grade rolls. The 8mm rolled rubber offers a low price for home owners that are looking for more ‘cushion’ than the 1/4” residential grade rolled rubber. For commercial use, the 8mm thick rolled rubber is a durable flooring option with the ability to withstand all but the most extreme use. An additional perk is that this rubber flooring comes complete with an industry leading full 5 year warranty.

Material – Recycled rubber and EDPM colored rubber flecks.

Width – 4 feet wide per roll

Length – The 8mm rubber rolls are custom cut to each customer’s desired length. This feature is free of charge provided that each roll length is at least 15’ long and ordered in whole increments (i.e. 15’, 16’, 17’, etc.). It is normal to receive extra inches on each roll as this allows for quick and easy installation.

When installing rolled rubber flooring, it is recommended that you use some kind of adhesive to prevent the rolls from moving around or sliding apart between adjacent rolls. The most common methods of adhering rubber rolls to the sub floor are:

A: Double Sided Tape Installation

First you will want to clean your sub floor so that it is free of all dust, dirt, and debris.

Loose lay your rolls in the room as you would like them to look after a complete installation. Let the rolls relax for up to 24-48 hours to ensure proper installation of your new flooring.

Note: Rolls may be directional so make sure the color matches on each roll. If the roll colors do not match, flip them or turn them 180 degrees to ensure color matches.

Make any necessary cuts to the rolls to fit them into the room using a Straight Edge and a Utility Knife with a fresh blade. We recommend leaving a gap around the rolls roughly the thickness of the rolls being used to account for expansion and contraction.

Apply double sided tape to perimeter of each roll.

Place rubber rolls back into position on top of the double sided tape.

B: Glue Installation

First clean your sub floor so that it is free of all dirt, dust and debris. Also, when gluing your flooring down, it is recommended that the sub floor is free of any moisture.

Loose lay your rolls in the room as you would like them to look after a complete installation. Let the rolls relax for up to 24-48 hours to ensure proper installation of your new flooring.

Note: Rolls may be directional so make sure the color matches on each roll. If the roll colors do not match, flip them or turn them 180 degrees to ensure color matches.

Make any necessary cuts to the rolls to fit them into the room using a Straight Edge and a Utility Knife with a fresh blade. We recommend leaving a gap around the rolls roughly the thickness of the rolls being used to account for expansion and contraction.

Roll up the rolls at one end of the room. Put down a 10 foot long light layer of polyurethane adhesive and unroll 10 of the flooring into the adhesive at a time.

Repeat this step for every 10 feet of roll length until the entire roll has been unrolled into it desired position.

After all rolls have been glued down, it is often recommended to use a 100 pound roller on the floor in order to guarantee good adherence to the sub floor. If a roller is not available, walking on the flooring in small choppy steps may also work.

Q:

I was wondering how your product would hold up to being put in a horse trailer. Our horses weigh an average of 1000 lbs and of course would have horse shoes on. The price of rubber stall mats is through the roof and we really like the price of your flooring. Thank you in advance for any help in this matter.

Enos Troyer

A:

Our 8mm Strong Rubber Rolls would be able to handle the weight of horses on it in your horse trailer.

Q:

Can water based adhesives be easily removed from the surface of this flooring?

Anonymous

A:

Water-based adhesives can be easily removed from our 8mm Strong Rubber Rolls. We recommend not using any acetone or other harsh chemicals as they will destroy the rubber. With some soap, water, and elbow grease, you should be able to remove most water-based adhesives with ease.

Q:

Will this mat hold up on the bottom of floor in boat. Is it slippery when wet.

boat floor

A:

Our 8mm Strong Rubber Rolls can be installed as flooring in a boat. A great property of rubber flooring is that it is more slip resistant when wet. So you will be in a safer situation with these rolls as your flooring vs. other flooring types. The only things you may notice is that the rolls may fade in the direct sunlight and that there may be some salts that embed themselves in the pores of the floor depending on what type of water this boat is going.

Q:

I would like to lay down 2 strips of 15' next to each other for a work area within a room. They would not be laid wall to wall however. It would be over concrete. Will these mats slide around if they were used for plyometric type workouts not being wall to wall?

Sara Esser

A:

In most cases, our 8mm Strong Rubber Rolls would be heavy enough to not move while doing your Plyometric exercises. In the rare chance that there were to be some movement, you can use some double sided tape underneath the rolls to keep them in place.

Q:

Need new flooring for a bar. Lots of spills. Mopped almost daily. Was thinking rubber as less glass breakage and not slippery when wet. But will it hold up to bar stools and booze spills??

Mark

A:

Our 8mm Strong Rubber Rolls are very durable and would be able to handle stools on them and beer being spilled on them. Rubber is more slip resistant when wet, so it will work perfect for your application. We would recommend using furniture sliders under the stools so they can be moved easier.

Q:

If you put a weight stack on this, is anything needed so as to not leave a permanent compression in this flooring?

Bryan

A:

Depending on the weight and how long the weight stack is on the floor determines if a permanent indentation will occur. For most home gym installations, a weight stack on our 8mm Strong Rubber Rolls won't have a permanent indentation. For commercial installations, it is very likely there will be an indentation. There really isn't a great way to prevent a weight stack from leaving indentations. You could use furniture sliders, but you run the risk of the weight stack being unstable.

Q:

I have a new concrete floor in the gym area we are building. Do we need to put a vapor barrier under the tiles?

Rick Meade

A:

You would not need to put a vapor barrier under our 8mm Strong Rubber Rolls. If you do have a moisture issue, you can either seal your concrete or place a vapor barrier under the flooring. But it is not required. Our rubber rolls are mold and mildew resistant making them great for any area that may have moisture issues.

Customer Reviews

My wife and I decided to renovate a basement room where we keep all our exercise equipment. We thought rubber flooring would be appropriate for our home gym. We were right, the 8mm rubber flooring is perfect and we are very happy with the results.
Rubber Flooring, Inc. is a terrific company with which to work and we are very happy with the look and quality of our rubber flooring. We ordered several samples ahead of time to judge the colors available as my wife is very particular and the samples helped avoid any surprises. The rolls we received were exactly what we expected.
We highly recommend both the flooring and this company.

My only complaint is that I should have splurged for the white speckles on the mat since as soon as you walk on a solid black mat, it will look dirty.
The 8mm pad is a good thickness. I can drop the weights and it doesn't sound like it is going to break anything. I would suggest that if you can't afford the 8mm, you go with the thinner version and use the extra clippings to double up under the high use areas, e.g., under the bench, or where else you drop your weights.
Installation was easy. I bought a pair of tin snips from home depot and got my brother-in-law (a.k.a a buff young kid eager to prove his strength) to cut the rubber. The floor looks professional and was easy to install.
One fear I had was that the rubber would gas off and a rubber odor would dominate the house. It did for the first month or so. But I put some fans on and it is not even noticeable now. 6 months later, no issues, and I don't use the fans.
